Thanks for the info - will check out the African section .
As far as the GFB bit and EO is concerned, I have never needed to rely on "EO" for a job. I am just good at what I do, not a quota filler.
Frankly, if my sexuality is going to be a problem for a particular employer, I don't want to be working there. I should never be an issue and I have be fortunate that it rarely has been for me (other than my departure from the RN 20 yrs ago). Am sure some colleagues may have had some issues they have kept to themselves and got on with the job.
